Quite different - and somehow more personal than Daphne du Maurier's other novels
Wickedly readable . . . Daphne du Maurier has instinct, with the result that every woman instinctively wants to read her
She wrote exciting plots, she was highly skilled at arousing suspense, and she was, too, a writer of fearless originality
One of the last century's most original literary talents
A novel about three step-siblings of complicated parentage, growing up wildly in a crazy Bohemian theatrical family, inspired by du Maurier's own . . . intriguing . . . captivating . . . [The Parasites] is unexpected, and fun, and one of her own favourites
